Paris France ~ is the capital and most populous city in France.

.

Paris was founded around 250 BC by the Parisii, a sub-tribe of the Celtic Senones. They settled on the Île de la Cité and on the banks of the Seine, built bridges and a fort, minted coins, and began to trade with other river settlements in Europe.

In 52 BC, a Roman army led by Titus Labienus defeated the Parisii and established a Gallo-Roman garrison town called Lutetia.

The town was Christianised in the 3rd century AD, and after the collapse of the Roman Empire, it was occupied by Clovis I, the King of the Franks, who made it his capital in 508.

In 987 AD, Paris became the capital of France.
